TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Clean Air Delivery Rate
From air cleaner to air cleaner, compare the CADR numbers. First look at suggested room size. Then refer
to the Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) numbers. The higher the number, the faster the unit filters the air.
Refer to website for individual model CADR numbers.
What is CADR?
CADR stands for “Clean Air Delivery Rate,” which indicates the volume of filtered air delivered by
an air purifier. CADR ratings show the effectiveness of how efficient the air purifier is at capturing
fine particles from things like tobacco smoke and plant pollens from the room.
Check that the unit is plugged into a working electrical outlet.
Check that the filter and front panel are installed correctly.
Check if the motor protector triggered. Unplug/replug into the outlet.
Call customer service.
